Summary0006037: No headers for rasp pi4
Description

Trying to setup a wireless adapter over a raspberry pi4.
Either after the installation of kalipi-kernel-headers
the output of installation no matter if dkms or make file
is:" it seems the kernel headers are not installed".
The raspberrypi-kernel-headers runs for Debian, but useless for kali.
Any solution ? TX

This appears to be more than just a kernel header issue though.

The almost working, workaround, is to either symlink the linux-headers4.19.93-Re4son-v8+ directory to linux-headers-4.19.93-Re4son-v8l+ or move it to that name. Then go into /lib/modules/4.19.93-Re4son-v8l+ and create two symlinks to /usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.93-Re4son-v8l+ for "build" and "source"

Unfortunately, dkms sees it's aarch64 and isn't doing the conversion to being arm64, not sure where that regression comes from, so you have to make sure it's passing ARCH=arm64 and not ARCH=aarch64.

Oh, also, you'll need the app "bc" installed as well.

if you've made the changes mentioned above... ARCH=arm64 make in the directory should give you a module at least.

Fixed in version 4.19.93-20200201.
Could you please run
"apt update && apt install kalipi-kernel-headers"
and let us know if that's working for you?

Many thanks

Hi !
Thank you, it worked as smooth as oil.
The apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
gave the known problem aarch64/arm64.
The latest aircrack-ng's driver installed with
no problem and it works perfectly.
Many thanks. Regard
